Why do you write?

Perhaps this is just me but i do feel as though i can convey my exact thoughts and sentiments when i'm allowed time to write it out. I feel as though somehow i've surpassed or more likely relinquished the need for conversation well because i too often trip up over my own tongue and end up sounding like an inbred. I am able to through poetry illuminate, edify and even wow. While with English and my two cent input to most conversations i simply exist as a tree in the background on the stage which the play of life is being held on. So i assert would anyone prefer to speak poetry with me instead of... well this stuff.
